Audio & Music Production
Before the album drops, before the curtain goes up, and before the next must-have video game goes on sale, audio engineers sculpt the sonic landscapes that bring these creations to life. Whether you're interested in the music industry, gaming, or the performing arts, you'll learn from experts while working on the same gear used by the pros.
You’ll start mixing tracks during your first week on campus. From there, you’ll get a complete overview of the profession from faculty who are also professionals. Classes will cover studio recording, mastering, acoustics, sound design, and more.

Make your degree even more versatile by dual-majoring in another field, such as physics, digital communications, or business. Need-based departmental scholarships are available. All students applying to LVC as an audio & music production major MUST complete an audition as part of their application.

LVC introduced me to the key concepts and building blocks I use as an engineer. Courses such as music theory and aural theory may not pertain specifically to recording, but they helped me become more musically literate, which can be a major advantage in my field.
